Worst stuttering FPS I've ever encountered

[mdmgroove]

This game will hover around 60fps and then when I get to a fight or any animation it goes down to 10 or minus 10. I've adjusted my settings and have the new driver installed. What gives? It seems like this game is almost unplayable on pc at the moment. My friend who has a way better computer is encountering the same issues....Will they address this or have they even acknoweldged this issue?

it keeps telling me I'm getting 120 FPS, but the game runs at like 10 FPS. I have a 2060 GTX graphics card like the game recommends, but I only have an HDD drive. I don't understand why the requirements are so high.

turn of lumen thing, and tweak more settings in general.
game is very poorly optimized overall

Because it is not the year 1996 atm.

That doesn't mean every game releasing these days should require a brand new $2,000 computer. The graphics for Rivals isn't even that great, a lot of the characters don't even look like they're supposed to.

I did that already. It stutters like crazy. I'll have good fps but when an animation happens or a group fight happens it drops down to like 5-10 fps. It's super frustrating.

The same thing happens to me, I have a constant 60 fps without drops but throughout the game it seems to go at 30fps and it feels heavy, weird and with some kind of stuttering (at the beginning of the game it feels very fluid but then that fluidity drops, even when there is no kind of fight with effects)

people are still on HDDs and wonder why games are choppy ...
your drive has been obsolete years ago.

Except most games still run great on an HDD and you don't know what you're talking about.
I have an NVME SSD and 2 HDD and less than 3% of my entire game library needs an SSD to avoid stutter, all of which are notoriously poorly optimized. (Such as Jedi Survivor) You see, some of us actually test things for ourselves instead of listening to randoms; I suggest trying it.

To everyone else: learn to use the search bar on the forums. Several topics have already said the primary cause of stutter is a Windows Security setting, and those of us that changed it stopped experiencing stutter.

Also make sure your settings aren't exceeding what your hardware can handle, like don't run it in 4k when you only have a GTX 1660 or an i3, don't try to use Lumen on anything below a 4060, etc.
Post Processing will be the heaviest hitter on performance here, after Global Illumination, so if you have an older card set those on Low.

this might be shaders being loaded, such stutters are a common issue in Unreal Engine games and since it is a common issue the engine is to blame

I played on HDD and transfered it to a SSD. and still runs choppy

x2 me too

Assuming you have everything updated, it's likely due to the fact that it's poorly optimized via the Stutter Engine 5 it's using. I get stutters here and there, but nothing too frequent that hinders gameplay.

All I did was hit "Optimize Settings" and i'm getting a smooth 120 fps with no noticeable lag spikes.

[brownie689]

runs buttery smooth for me at 144fps 1440p all graphics maxed out.

[Springles]

i have better than minimum requirements and so do my friends, had a full gorup of friends and only two could run the game smoothyl most of them have better pc then mine... moved game onto my SSD and its even worse than before. dude they gotta fix this wtf borderline unplayable half the time and then 200+ fps the other half...
